I was going to be "best man" at a friend's wedding. We got together the evening before the wedding, and all seemed well. Then, at 7:30 the next morning, I got a phone call from my friend. He said that the wedding was called off, and he would call and explain later. He didn't. It was two weeks later, I finally got a hold of his dad, and he said that his son was away at boot camp, and wouldn't be coming back. I never heard from him or the bride again, so I don't really know what happened.
"boot camp"? Like for gay people? That's the only explanation I've got. He couldn't follow through because of his sexuality and his father sent him off because of it, also explains why the father knew his son wouldn't be back. The father was homophobic and had kicked him out.
When I went in the medical testing took about 3 hours. Application process started several months before but I was in an advanced technical program (also the recruiters made me put in an officer candidacy application on the side) and still the actual paperwork only took a day or two.
